Cancel plans to open a trading office in Raleigh North Carolina

Petition Details

Recently North Carolina has passed a bill dubbed 'HB 2' which has "voided all local ordinances protecting LGBT rights". As a result many business ventures have removed or cancelled their investment plans in the state. The UK should also refuse to support a region that legalises LGBT discrimination.

Additional Information

"North Carolina has lost a string of big investment ventures over Governor Pat McCrory’s decision to sign the contentious HB 2 – which voided all local ordinances protecting LGBT rights, banned transgender people from using their preferred bathroom, and permits businesses to discriminate against LGBT people on the grounds of religious belief" http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/07/26/uk-government-to-open-trade-hub-in-north-carolina-despite-controversy-over-anti-lgbt-law/
